Lisa Whelchel, best known for her role as Blair Warner on The Facts of Life, revealed that her grandchildren call her "Cocomama" after she overindulged in cannabis offerings at an Amsterdam coffee shop during a family trip to Europe. Whelchel and her daughter tried space cake after failing to smoke a joint, leading to a paranoid experience. Her daughter's then-boyfriend, now-husband, gave her the nickname to commemorate their experience. Whelchel is now a grandmother of two and plans to have a fun-filled family weekend with a nod to Survivor, the reality series she competed on in 2012, at her long-awaited wedding reception in July.
